A tank full of water consists of 3 segments. The topmost segment is cylindrical with a diameter of 5.0m and a height of 1.5m. The middle segment is a frustrum of a cone whose smaller base is 3.0m in diameter. It is 0.8m high and is attached to the topmost segment via its larger base. Attached to its smaller base is the lowest hemispherical segment. If a 100mm diameter orifice (C=0.6) is located at the bottom of the tank, determine the time (mins) it takes to empty the tank

Question

A tank full of water consists of 3 segments. The topmost segment is cylindrical with a
diameter of 5.0m and a height of 1.5m. The middle segment is a frustrum of a cone
whose smaller base is 3.0m in diameter. It is 0.8m high and is attached to the topmost
segment via its larger base. Attached to its smaller base is the lowest hemispherical
segment. If a 100mm diameter orifice (C=0.6) is located at the bottom of the tank,
determine the time (mins) it takes to empty the tank.
